    They say that people are going to start using Facebook instead of Google to do their searches.  Maybe I’m behind in the updates on businesses but i would probably guess that these two giants will merge one day.

    I used to wonder why I got invitations, game gifts, friend request, and all of the other requests that you send out in Facebook during the workday. Everyone is on at work and “visiting” Facebook. I play on Facebook as well so I can’t say anything bad about it. I’ve actually had to ween myself off of it because I was spending 1 hour every morning plowing, harvesting, seeding, or feeding the damn fish. TOO MUCH!

    Check out these results from the article above:
    Business Traffic and Bandwidth

    Top five websites visited by businesses:

    * 1. Facebook – 6.8 per cent of all traffic
    * 2. Google – 3.4 per cent of all traffic
    * 3. Yimg (Yahoo!’s image server) – 2.8 per cent of all traffic
    * 4. Yahoo – 2.4 per cent of all traffic
    * 5. Doubleclick – 1.7 per cent of all traffic

    Top five business bandwidth sites:

    * 1. YouTube – 10 per cent of all bandwidth used
    * 2. Facebook – 4.5 per cent of all bandwidth used
    * 3. Windows Update – 3.3 per cent of all bandwidth used
    * 4. Yimg (Yahoo!’s image server) – 2.7 per cent of all bandwidth used
    * 5. Google – 2.5 per cent of all bandwidth used

    WOW! I wouldn’t be surprised that many companies are going to start blocking Facebook from their Internet Access.
